Title: Iittala pattern & what is this?
Post by: Sandra on June 08, 2007, 01:09:01 PM

Thick walled Iittala glass dish measuring 6 1/2" wide by 1 1/2" high. The opening is 4 1/4" wide.

What is the pattern name, who designed it & what would it be used for?


I hope I did this picture thing right.

Hi Sandra,
It is an ashtray, part of the 'Aslak' series, I believe. Designed by Tapio Wirkkala in 1969 and produced between 1970-1988
